Chains?
Hey guys, I am not only in need of some new tires but I also need a new chain (apparently). I noticed that my chain is unevenly stretched. I've been told from a few people that it's time for a new one but that kind of surprised me seeing as how the chain only has 6800 miles on it. Either way I don't know what to look for in a good chain and was wondering if anyone could recommend some or explain what to look for.
Thanks! |

These have proven to be excellent for the last several years on many of our dirt race bikes. I'll be using it on the 300 also. Cheap and strong.
http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...H-X-Ring-Chain Did you adjust the chain? Too tightly perhaps? I have cleaned mine once or twice and basically ignored it into my second harsh, salty winter and it is fine at 9k miles. I've been thru a few sprockets in that span though. Replace with new sprockets as a set. You can buy some time by swapping out the front every 4-5k miles. |
